Perfect equipment that meets my needs is essential for me to be able to concentrate fully on the challenges of the mountain.  I have to be able to rely one hundred percent on the functionality of my equipment, my clothes must not hinder my movements and I want to feel comfortable.

For tents, sleeping bags and clothes that have to stand up to the extreme conditions, Mountain Hardwear is definitely the right supplier – all products are carefully  designed, functional and manufactured to the highest standards of quality.

With LOWA, I can be absolutely certain that my shoes are of the highest standard of quality and technology and that they have been made using only the best materials.

My eyes require special protection at altitude and in ice and snow – but at the same time, the material used here also needs to meet special criteria. I was involved in developing one of the most successful and functional Adidas sports glasses models, precisely to meet these demanding criteria in the field of extreme climbing and mountain sport. They offer me optimum protection and are also robust enough to survive in my rucksack...



When it comes to hardware, I absolutelyrecommend products from my partner, Petzl,– the Nomic, for example, is a fantastic ice tool, with which I can move as freely on ice and mixed terrain as I can on an expedition. Petzl equipment is ideal for anyone who wants to really perform on the mountain.
